Zeerak Ahmed



I'm a designer, engineer and writer split between Lahore & Seattle.

I have experience leading interdisciplinary teams of designers, researchers, engineers and advisors from other fields. My expertise is in developing productivity tools for professionals and underserved audiences with complex needs. My work has encompassed service & platform design. I empower my teams to take ownership, and we index not just on good ideas, but delivering impact. I frequently speak in classrooms and conferences.

Some work samples are below. You can read more about my work outside of design, including my design education work, on my homepage.
